Multinational Criminal Justice
Globalization of crime and terrorism has required enhanced
international coordination of law enforcement efforts. The U.S.
efforts to thwart globalization of crime and terrorism include:Expansion of American law enforcement activities abroadPassage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPA, 2003)Extradition Forcible removal of criminal suspects from foreign jurisdictions refusing extradition. http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/terror/R41004.pdf

The Globalization of Crime
Transnational crime partly stems from globalization—the internationalization of
trade, services, investment, information and other forms of human social activity.
As defined by the United Nations, transnational crimes are unlawful activities
undertaken by organized criminal groups operating across national boundaries and
include:Terrorism Drug traffickingMoney launderingAlien smugglingHuman and weapons traffickingFraud and corruptiontreaties.un.org/doc/source/RecentTexts/18-12E.doc

Transnational crime
The United Nations classifies a crimes a Transactional crime if:
It is committed in more than one country.It is committed in one country but a substantial part of its preparation, planning, direction, or control takes place in another country.It is committed in one country but involves an organized criminal group that engages in criminal activities in more than one country.It is committed in one country but has substantial effects in another country.

Transnational crime (continued)
Comparative criminology is the cross-national study of crime.
Also, it compares crime patterns in one country with those in another and develops theories with increased specificity managing to construct them in such way they can applied across more than one culture or nation-state.
Comparative criminologists study crime on a cross-national level and use those studies to evaluate and improve the U.S. system of criminal justice.

An Introduction to Criminal Law
Comparative Criminology
One major impediment to Comparative Criminology is the fact the United States is generally an “ethnocentric” culture. Ethnocentrism is the tendency to strongly believe a group's ethnic or cultural group is centrally important and all other groups are measured in relation to that group. Ethnocentric people critically judge other groups relative to his ethnic group, culture and norms. This is especially true in relation to one’s language, behavior, customs, and religion.
Ethnocentric cultures are often not open to considering or even in some case tolerating, research or ideas that are different to the accepted norm within that culture.

Transnational organized crime its conceptgagan deep
Transnational organized crime (TOC) involves criminal groups that coordinate illegal activities across national borders. TOC groups use violence and corruption to traffic drugs, arms, people, toxic waste, and other illicit goods. Several international law enforcement agencies work to combat TOC, including Interpol, Europol, and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. However, TOC remains a significant threat due to the challenges of international cooperation and the economic benefits some states and groups receive from criminal enterprises.
This document discusses organized crime around the world and in Nepal specifically. It provides definitions of organized crime from various legal and academic perspectives, focusing on organized crime as criminal groups that work together for financial gain through ongoing illegal activities. The document also outlines the UN convention against transnational organized crime and how Nepal has signed related treaties. It describes some common types of organized criminal activities and how the Nepalese organized crime prevention act aims to combat organized crime in Nepal.

Project Proposal: The Effectiveness of Anti-Human Trafficking Laws
Project Background
Human trafficking (HT) is considered and criminalized by the United Nations as a form of modern slavery. It is also considered to be a major human rights challenge for authorities both in the developed and developing economies. The crime manifests in the form of sex trafficking and labor trafficking. Early perceptions of human trafficking tended to view it as entailing sexual exploitation of women and girls. Today, the United States categorizes human trafficking as encompassing wide arrays of crimes and affecting boys and men as well (Federal Anti-Trafficking Laws, 2019). The federal government recognizes that human trafficking in the United States predominantly takes the form of domestic servitude, forced labor in construction industries, brides trafficking, and coerced working in agricultural plantations.
The United Nations defines trafficking in persons as “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation” (Zimmerman & Kiss, 2017). While a lot of human trafficking takes place within the country, a recent trend in international trafficking has created cartels across the world that facilitate illegal movement of people mainly from poor, low-income countries to developed economies (Global Report on Trafficking in Persons, 2014). Countries such as the Netherlands, Romania, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone have been cited internationally as major origin and transit countries for human trafficking.
The impact of HT on individuals and economies cannot be understated. International human trafficking (IHT) is known to encompass drug trafficking. Trafficked persons are forced under threat to their lives to traffic narcotics across international borders. The risk posed to victims is immense since it not only impairs their mental capacity but also exposes them to punitive sentences if caught trafficking drugs on behalf of their controlling masters. Besides cognitive impairment and potential memory loss, victims of HT are exposed to despicable physical abuse including rape, sexual slavery, servitude, and aggravated assault resulting in bodily harm. In other instances, victims are abused and killed. Analysis by the U.S State Department of recent cases of HT indicate that a significant number of victims are children who are duped under the pretext of finding a better life abroad or in large urban centers where they cannot be easily identified.

INTERPOL is the world's largest international police organization, with 196 member nations. It facilitates international police cooperation and crime control. INTERPOL provides secure communication channels and access to databases containing criminal intelligence to support international investigations. It also offers specialized police training and operational support to address priority crime areas like drugs, fugitives, terrorism, and human trafficking. Ultimately, INTERPOL aims to create a safer world by enabling law enforcement agencies to combat crime across international borders.
INTERPOL has its origins in the early twentieth century when high-ranking police officials from twenty European States came together to create a centralized police cooperation agency. At 1923 Criminal Police Congress in Vienna, in response to the need for enhanced international police cooperation to tackle international crime, theInternational
Criminal Police Commission („ICPC‟) was established, headquartered in Vienna, and at that stage under the management of Austrian police. When the institution subsequently came under the control of Nazi Germany, its headquarters were moved to Berlin and most national police forces withdrew their participation.

This document summarizes initiatives to enhance international identity operations and intelligence sharing between law enforcement and military organizations to identify transnational threat actors. It discusses several intergovernmental organizations involved in this effort, including INTERPOL, Europol, NATO, OSCE, and Frontex. The goal is to support threat network analysis and engagement through compliant biometric data sharing once an interoperable framework has been established between these organizations. This will help with identifying threat actors from civilian populations in contexts involving transnational terrorism and political violence.
The document discusses the increasingly international nature of crime and forensic science. It outlines how international organizations like ENFSI, INTERPOL, and IAFS are promoting cooperation across borders to tackle issues like transnational organized crime, terrorism, and the rise of internet-based offenses. The future of forensic science is portrayed as inherently global and interdependent, with practitioners needing their evidence to withstand scrutiny in diverse international legal systems. Standards are being developed to facilitate the sharing of best practices, intelligence, and expertise among forensic institutions worldwide.

The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) was founded in 1914 and facilitates cooperation between law enforcement agencies of its 194 member countries. It maintains databases to share criminal information and supports international investigations. INTERPOL is headquartered in Lyon, France and operates globally to help address transnational crimes like terrorism, cybercrime, and human trafficking. While serving as a platform for international collaboration, INTERPOL remains neutral and non-political in its operations.
Transnational Crime and the Global CommunityMark Wojnarek
Transnational crime involves marketing illegal products or services across international borders to generate profits that support further criminal activity. It affects the global community by destabilizing governments and creating fear among citizens. Over 50 activities fall under transnational crime, including human trafficking, weapons smuggling, and drug trafficking. These criminal operations have far-reaching impacts on human rights and strain local resources and systems. Criminal organizations operate transnational drug and human trafficking rings like businesses, exploiting consumer demand and generating over $193 billion annually from drug sales in the U.S. alone. Violence is often used by these organizations to maintain control and influence.
The Human Rights Watch is a nonprofit international organization that researches and advocates for human rights. Its 400 staff members come from various backgrounds and nationalities. The organization meets with governments and other groups to push for policy changes that promote human rights. It publishes over 100 reports annually on human rights issues in around 90 countries. Amnesty International is another nonprofit that works to promote human rights globally through research, advocacy, campaigns, and action. It researches rights violations to support lobbying governments and influencing decisions. Both organizations help raise awareness of human rights issues.
This document summarizes an organization called the International Organization for Security and Intelligence (IOSI). It is a global security initiative based in Vancouver, Canada with representatives in over 35 nations. IOSI's goal is to support national, regional, and international security efforts to protect governments, private sectors, and citizens from existing and emerging global security threats such as narcoterrorism, transnational crime, terrorism, and human smuggling. The organization provides programs, advising, consulting, training, and operational support to members and partner agencies to help address these security issues from an international cooperative perspective.
This document summarizes the work of IOSI, an international organization dedicated to global security issues. It has representatives in over 35 countries, with main offices in Vancouver, Canada. IOSI aims to support security efforts that protect governments, private sectors, and citizens from threats. It provides programs, training, education and advising to law enforcement, military, and private sector clients on issues like transnational crime, terrorism, and emerging security risks. The organization is made up of current and former security and intelligence experts from around the world.
The United Nations Security Council, the main decision-making body a.pdfconnellalykshamesb60
The United Nations Security Council, the main decision-making body at the UN, is comprised of
five regular members: China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the
United States. Ten more members are elected from the General Assembly. Given the make-up of
the committee, what type of action might the UN take with regard to the counterfeiting issue?
Solution
One of actions is to adopt and fully implementing the United Nations Convention against
Transnational Organized Crime: The counterfeit business is a global operation spread across
numerous countries and organized by cross-border criminal networks. Within the framework
States Parties could decide tougher laws in order to take the illicit trafficking of counterfeit
goods particularly in the case of public goods and safety threats.
Strengthening money laundering legislation: There is a profound importance in ensuring laws to
counter all forms of money laundering. They called on the governments to seize all profits made
by organized criminal networks from counterfeiting as a more effective way than just an
imprisonment.
Operational actions like equipping officials with tools to identify counterfeit goods is one way to
curb the crime. Working with Interpol and others could potentially provide the ideal platform to
track down criminal networks and investigate criminal networks involved in this illicit trade.
Another way counterfeiting can be tackled is through empowering consumers to make more
informed decisions. “Counterfeit: Don’t Buy into Organized Crime” is one example of
awareness initiatives which should be followed with vigor in order to counter illicit trade
practices.

Interpol works to combat the illicit antiquities trade which funds organized crime and terrorism. It maintains databases of stolen cultural objects and partners with organizations like UNESCO and national police forces. While regulations have increased, the antiquities trade persists due to the difficulties of regulating a black market that spans borders. Subsistence diggers are often motivated by poverty rather than malice. Interpol prioritizes secure data sharing and training police to identify objects across borders in order to curb this lucrative criminal industry.
This document discusses human rights and terrorism. It begins by defining human rights and international human rights law. It then discusses what constitutes terrorism in legal terms. The impact of terrorism on human rights is described, such as threats to the rights to life, liberty and physical integrity. Challenges that counterterrorism measures pose to human rights, like the absolute prohibition against torture, are also examined. The document explores issues such as the transfer of detainees, profiling, due process, freedom of expression, freedom of association, and surveillance. It emphasizes that counterterrorism must be conducted in a way that complies with international law and human rights standards.
This document summarizes a conference held by the International Peace Academy, United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Center on International Organization on the topic of human rights, the United Nations, and the struggle against terrorism. The conference brought together experts on terrorism, security, human rights, and international policy to discuss the complex relationship between counterterrorism efforts and upholding human rights standards. Key issues discussed included balancing security concerns with human rights protections, and ensuring independent review of government threat assessments to prevent overreach and unwarranted restrictions of human rights.
International criminal police organizationKethgay Otanio
The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) is an intergovernmental organization that facilitates international police cooperation. It was established in 1923 and adopted its current name in 1956. Interpol provides support to its 194 member countries through services like secure communications, databases of fingerprints and stolen documents, international notices for wanted persons, and training and capacity building. While Interpol does not make arrests itself, it helps law enforcement agencies from different countries overcome barriers and work together across international borders to fight transnational crime.
The document is about a new global security organization called the International Organization for Security and Intelligence (IOSI). IOSI aims to support national, regional, and international security efforts to protect governments, private sectors, and people from existing and emerging global threats. It has representatives in over 15 countries and provides programs, advising, consulting, training, and education on issues like transnational crime, terrorism, and improving public safety. The organization's president, Johan Obdola, is an expert in counter narcoterrorism and IOSI brings together security experts from around the world.
Terrorism is defined as the unlawful use of force or violence against people or property to coerce governments or populations for political or social goals. Terrorism has psychological, economic, and social effects such as injuries, deaths, depressions, damage to buildings and infrastructure, and negative impacts on tourism and trade. Future terrorist attacks are predicted to increasingly utilize technology and the internet through tactics like computer hacking and cyber terrorism. International organizations are working to counter terrorism through strategies focused on understanding terrorist methods, preventing and combating terrorism, building country counterterrorism capacities, and respecting human rights.
Universal jurisdiction is a legal principle that allows states to prosecute individuals for serious crimes regardless of where the crime was committed or the nationality of the perpetrator or victim. It is based on the idea that certain crimes are so serious that they affect the international community as a whole. States can exercise universal jurisdiction over crimes like genocide, war crimes, and torture. While the International Criminal Court also prosecutes these crimes, it is limited to crimes committed after 2002 by or on the territories of member states. Universal jurisdiction applies the criminal laws of individual states to bring perpetrators to justice.
Human rights law review international recognition of victims’ rightsmarsyslawforall
This document summarizes the international legal evolution of recognizing victims' rights. It discusses two key UN General Assembly resolutions from 1985 and 2006 that addressed victims' rights. The 1985 resolution focused on domestic crime victims while the 2006 resolution established an "international bill of rights for victims" regarding gross human rights and humanitarian law violations. The document also discusses how regional human rights courts and the International Criminal Court have increasingly recognized victims' standing and rights to compensation and reparations. However, full implementation of victims' rights still faces obstacles at the national and international levels.

Assessment 4
Cost Savings Analysis
OverviewPrepare a spreadsheet of cost savings data showing efficiency gains attributable to care coordination over the course of one fiscal year, and report your key findings in an executive summary, 4–5 pages in length.
Information plays a fundamental role in health care. Providers such as physicians and hospitals create and process information as they deliver care to patients. However, managing that information and using it productively poses an ongoing challenge, particularly in light of the complexity of the U.S. health care sector, with its many diverse settings for care and types of providers and services. Health information technology (HIT) has the potential to considerably increase the productivity of the health sector by assisting providers in managing information. Furthermore, HIT can improve the quality of health care and, ultimately, the outcomes of that care for patients.
The use of HIT has been upheld as having remarkable promise in improving the efficiency, quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety of medical care delivery in our nation's health care system. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine how utilizing HIT can positively affect the financial health of an organization, improve patient health, and create better health outcomes.

Assessment 4 Instructions Final Care Coordination Plan .docxgalerussel59292
Assessment 4 Instructions: Final Care Coordination Plan
For this assessment, you will simulate implementation of the preliminary care coordination plan you developed in Assessment 1. The presentation would be structured for the hypothetical patient.
NOTE
: You are required to complete this assessment after Assessment 1 is successfully completed.
Care coordination is the process of providing a smooth and seamless transition of care as part of the health continuum. Nurses must be aware of community resources, ethical considerations, policy issues, cultural norms, safety, and the physiological needs of patients. Nurses play a key role in providing the necessary knowledge and communication to ensure seamless transitions of care. They draw upon evidence-based practices to promote health and disease prevention to create a safe environment conducive to improving and maintaining the health of individuals, families, or aggregates within a community. When provided with a plan and the resources to achieve and maintain optimal health, patients benefit from a safe environment conducive to healing and a better quality of life.
This assessment provides an opportunity to research the literature and apply evidence to support what communication, teaching, and learning best practices are needed for a hypothetical patient with a selected health care problem.

The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) was founded in 1914 and facilitates cooperation between law enforcement agencies of its 194 member countries. It maintains databases to share criminal information and supports international investigations. INTERPOL is headquartered in Lyon, France and operates globally to help address transnational crimes like terrorism, cybercrime, and human trafficking. While serving as a platform for international collaboration, INTERPOL remains neutral and non-political in its operations.
Transnational Crime and the Global CommunityMark Wojnarek
Transnational crime involves marketing illegal products or services across international borders to generate profits that support further criminal activity. It affects the global community by destabilizing governments and creating fear among citizens. Over 50 activities fall under transnational crime, including human trafficking, weapons smuggling, and drug trafficking. These criminal operations have far-reaching impacts on human rights and strain local resources and systems. Criminal organizations operate transnational drug and human trafficking rings like businesses, exploiting consumer demand and generating over $193 billion annually from drug sales in the U.S. alone. Violence is often used by these organizations to maintain control and influence.
The Human Rights Watch is a nonprofit international organization that researches and advocates for human rights. Its 400 staff members come from various backgrounds and nationalities. The organization meets with governments and other groups to push for policy changes that promote human rights. It publishes over 100 reports annually on human rights issues in around 90 countries. Amnesty International is another nonprofit that works to promote human rights globally through research, advocacy, campaigns, and action. It researches rights violations to support lobbying governments and influencing decisions. Both organizations help raise awareness of human rights issues.
This document summarizes an organization called the International Organization for Security and Intelligence (IOSI). It is a global security initiative based in Vancouver, Canada with representatives in over 35 nations. IOSI's goal is to support national, regional, and international security efforts to protect governments, private sectors, and citizens from existing and emerging global security threats such as narcoterrorism, transnational crime, terrorism, and human smuggling. The organization provides programs, advising, consulting, training, and operational support to members and partner agencies to help address these security issues from an international cooperative perspective.
This document summarizes the work of IOSI, an international organization dedicated to global security issues. It has representatives in over 35 countries, with main offices in Vancouver, Canada. IOSI aims to support security efforts that protect governments, private sectors, and citizens from threats. It provides programs, training, education and advising to law enforcement, military, and private sector clients on issues like transnational crime, terrorism, and emerging security risks. The organization is made up of current and former security and intelligence experts from around the world.
The United Nations Security Council, the main decision-making body a.pdfconnellalykshamesb60
The United Nations Security Council, the main decision-making body at the UN, is comprised of
five regular members: China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the
United States. Ten more members are elected from the General Assembly. Given the make-up of
the committee, what type of action might the UN take with regard to the counterfeiting issue?
Solution
One of actions is to adopt and fully implementing the United Nations Convention against
Transnational Organized Crime: The counterfeit business is a global operation spread across
numerous countries and organized by cross-border criminal networks. Within the framework
States Parties could decide tougher laws in order to take the illicit trafficking of counterfeit
goods particularly in the case of public goods and safety threats.
Strengthening money laundering legislation: There is a profound importance in ensuring laws to
counter all forms of money laundering. They called on the governments to seize all profits made
by organized criminal networks from counterfeiting as a more effective way than just an
imprisonment.
Operational actions like equipping officials with tools to identify counterfeit goods is one way to
curb the crime. Working with Interpol and others could potentially provide the ideal platform to
track down criminal networks and investigate criminal networks involved in this illicit trade.
Another way counterfeiting can be tackled is through empowering consumers to make more
informed decisions. “Counterfeit: Don’t Buy into Organized Crime” is one example of
awareness initiatives which should be followed with vigor in order to counter illicit trade
practices.

Interpol works to combat the illicit antiquities trade which funds organized crime and terrorism. It maintains databases of stolen cultural objects and partners with organizations like UNESCO and national police forces. While regulations have increased, the antiquities trade persists due to the difficulties of regulating a black market that spans borders. Subsistence diggers are often motivated by poverty rather than malice. Interpol prioritizes secure data sharing and training police to identify objects across borders in order to curb this lucrative criminal industry.
This document discusses human rights and terrorism. It begins by defining human rights and international human rights law. It then discusses what constitutes terrorism in legal terms. The impact of terrorism on human rights is described, such as threats to the rights to life, liberty and physical integrity. Challenges that counterterrorism measures pose to human rights, like the absolute prohibition against torture, are also examined. The document explores issues such as the transfer of detainees, profiling, due process, freedom of expression, freedom of association, and surveillance. It emphasizes that counterterrorism must be conducted in a way that complies with international law and human rights standards.
This document summarizes a conference held by the International Peace Academy, United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Center on International Organization on the topic of human rights, the United Nations, and the struggle against terrorism. The conference brought together experts on terrorism, security, human rights, and international policy to discuss the complex relationship between counterterrorism efforts and upholding human rights standards. Key issues discussed included balancing security concerns with human rights protections, and ensuring independent review of government threat assessments to prevent overreach and unwarranted restrictions of human rights.
International criminal police organizationKethgay Otanio
The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) is an intergovernmental organization that facilitates international police cooperation. It was established in 1923 and adopted its current name in 1956. Interpol provides support to its 194 member countries through services like secure communications, databases of fingerprints and stolen documents, international notices for wanted persons, and training and capacity building. While Interpol does not make arrests itself, it helps law enforcement agencies from different countries overcome barriers and work together across international borders to fight transnational crime.
The document is about a new global security organization called the International Organization for Security and Intelligence (IOSI). IOSI aims to support national, regional, and international security efforts to protect governments, private sectors, and people from existing and emerging global threats. It has representatives in over 15 countries and provides programs, advising, consulting, training, and education on issues like transnational crime, terrorism, and improving public safety. The organization's president, Johan Obdola, is an expert in counter narcoterrorism and IOSI brings together security experts from around the world.
Terrorism is defined as the unlawful use of force or violence against people or property to coerce governments or populations for political or social goals. Terrorism has psychological, economic, and social effects such as injuries, deaths, depressions, damage to buildings and infrastructure, and negative impacts on tourism and trade. Future terrorist attacks are predicted to increasingly utilize technology and the internet through tactics like computer hacking and cyber terrorism. International organizations are working to counter terrorism through strategies focused on understanding terrorist methods, preventing and combating terrorism, building country counterterrorism capacities, and respecting human rights.
Universal jurisdiction is a legal principle that allows states to prosecute individuals for serious crimes regardless of where the crime was committed or the nationality of the perpetrator or victim. It is based on the idea that certain crimes are so serious that they affect the international community as a whole. States can exercise universal jurisdiction over crimes like genocide, war crimes, and torture. While the International Criminal Court also prosecutes these crimes, it is limited to crimes committed after 2002 by or on the territories of member states. Universal jurisdiction applies the criminal laws of individual states to bring perpetrators to justice.
Human rights law review international recognition of victims’ rightsmarsyslawforall
This document summarizes the international legal evolution of recognizing victims' rights. It discusses two key UN General Assembly resolutions from 1985 and 2006 that addressed victims' rights. The 1985 resolution focused on domestic crime victims while the 2006 resolution established an "international bill of rights for victims" regarding gross human rights and humanitarian law violations. The document also discusses how regional human rights courts and the International Criminal Court have increasingly recognized victims' standing and rights to compensation and reparations. However, full implementation of victims' rights still faces obstacles at the national and international levels.

Assessment 4
Cost Savings Analysis
OverviewPrepare a spreadsheet of cost savings data showing efficiency gains attributable to care coordination over the course of one fiscal year, and report your key findings in an executive summary, 4–5 pages in length.
Information plays a fundamental role in health care. Providers such as physicians and hospitals create and process information as they deliver care to patients. However, managing that information and using it productively poses an ongoing challenge, particularly in light of the complexity of the U.S. health care sector, with its many diverse settings for care and types of providers and services. Health information technology (HIT) has the potential to considerably increase the productivity of the health sector by assisting providers in managing information. Furthermore, HIT can improve the quality of health care and, ultimately, the outcomes of that care for patients.
The use of HIT has been upheld as having remarkable promise in improving the efficiency, quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety of medical care delivery in our nation's health care system. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine how utilizing HIT can positively affect the financial health of an organization, improve patient health, and create better health outcomes.

For this assessment, you will simulate implementation of the preliminary care coordination plan you developed in Assessment 1. The presentation would be structured for the hypothetical patient.
NOTE
: You are required to complete this assessment after Assessment 1 is successfully completed.
Care coordination is the process of providing a smooth and seamless transition of care as part of the health continuum. Nurses must be aware of community resources, ethical considerations, policy issues, cultural norms, safety, and the physiological needs of patients. Nurses play a key role in providing the necessary knowledge and communication to ensure seamless transitions of care. They draw upon evidence-based practices to promote health and disease prevention to create a safe environment conducive to improving and maintaining the health of individuals, families, or aggregates within a community. When provided with a plan and the resources to achieve and maintain optimal health, patients benefit from a safe environment conducive to healing and a better quality of life.

Assessment 4 ContextRecall that null hypothesis tests are of.docxgalerussel59292
Assessment 4 Context
Recall that null hypothesis tests are of two types: (1) differences between group means and (2) association between variables. In both cases there is a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. In the group means test, the null hypothesis is that the two groups have equal means, and the alternative hypothesis is that the two groups do not have equal means. In the association between variables type of test, the null hypothesis is that the correlation coefficient between the two variables is zero, and the alternative hypothesis is that the correlation coefficient is not zero.
Notice in each case that the hypotheses are mutually exclusive. If the null is false, the alternative must be true. The purpose of null hypothesis statistical tests is generally to show that the null has a low probability of being true (the p value is less than .05) – low enough that the researcher can legitimately claim it is false. The reason this is done is to support the allegation that the alternative hypothesis is true.
In this context you will be studying the details of the first type of test again, with the added capability of comparing the means among more than two group at a time. This is the same type of test of difference between group means. In variations on this model, the groups can actually be the same people under different conditions. The main idea is that several group mean values are being compared. The groups each have an average score or mean on some variable. The null hypothesis is that the difference between all the group means is zero. The alternative hypothesis is that the difference between the means is not zero. Notice that if the null is false, the alternative must be true. It is first instructive to consider some of the details of groups.
One might ask why we would not use multiple t tests in this situation. For instance, with three groups, why would I not compare groups one and two with a t test, then compare groups one and three, and then compare groups two and three?
The answer can be found in our basic probability review. We are concerned with the probability of a TYPE I error (rejecting a true null hypothesis). We generally set an alpha level of .05, which is the probability of making a TYPE I error. Now consider what happens when we do three t tests. There is .05 probability of making a TYPE I error on the first test, .05 probability of the same error on the second test, and .05 probability on the third test. What happens is that these errors are essentially additive, in that the chances of at least one TYPE I error among the three tests much greater than .05. It is like the increased probability of drawing an ace from a deck of cards when we can make multiple draws.
ANOVA allows us do an "overall" test of multiple groups to determine if there are any differences among groups within the set. Notice that ANOVA does not tell us which groups among the three groups are different from each other. The primary test.

Disaster Plan With Guidelines for Implementation: Tool Kit for the Team
Overview: Develop a disaster preparedness tool kit for a community or population. Then, develop a 5-slide presentation for your care coordination team to prepare them to use the tool kit to execute a disaster preparedness plan.
Note: The assessments in this course build upon the work you completed in previous assessments. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
Disaster planning is vital to ensuring effective and seamless coordination, throughout the recovery period, among those affected by the disaster and an extensive array of health care providers and services. Care coordination, as part of an overall disaster response effort, helps ensure that victims receive needed care as access to providers and services are gradually restored over time.

Assessment 3 Context
You will review the theory, logic, and application of t-tests. The t-test is a basic inferential statistic often reported in psychological research. You will discover that t-tests, as well as analysis of variance (ANOVA), compare group means on some quantitative outcome variable.
Recall that null hypothesis tests are of two types: (1) differences between group means and (2) association between variables. In both cases there is a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. In the group means test, the null hypothesis is that the two groups have equal means, and the alternative hypothesis is that the two groups do not have equal means. In the association between variables type of test, the null hypothesis is that the correlation coefficient between the two variables is zero, and the alternative hypothesis is that the correlation coefficient is not zero.
Notice in each case that the hypotheses are mutually exclusive. If the null is false, the alternative must be true. The purpose of null hypothesis statistical tests is generally to show that the null has a low probability of being true (the p value is less than .05) – low enough that the researcher can legitimately claim it is false. The reason this is done is to support the allegation that the alternative hypothesis is true.
In this context you will be studying the details of the first type of test. This is the test of difference between group means. In variations on this model, the two groups can actually be the same people under different conditions, or one of the groups may be assigned a fixed theoretical value. The main idea is that two mean values are being compared. The two groups each have an average score or mean on some variable. The null hypothesis is that the difference between the means is zero. The alternative hypothesis is that the difference between the means is not zero. Notice that if the null is false, the alternative must be true. It is first instructive to consider some of the details of groups. Means, and difference between them.
Null Hypothesis Significance Test
The most common forms of the Null Hypothesis Significance Test (NHST) are three types of t tests, and the test of significance of a correlation. The NHST also extends to more complex tests, such as ANOVA, which will be discussed separately. Below, the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis are given for each of the following tests. It would be a valuable use of your time to commit the information below to memory. Once this is done, then when we refer to the tests later, you will have some structure to make sense of the more detailed explanations.
1. One-sample t test: The question in this test is whether a single sample group mean is significantly different from some stated or fixed theoretical value - the fixed value is called a parameter.
· Null Hypothesis: The difference between the sample group mean and the fixed value is zero in the population.
· Alternative hypothesis: T.
Assessment 2
Quality Improvement Proposal
Overview:
Write a quality improvement proposal, 5–7 pages in length, that provides your recommendations for expanding a hospital's HIT to include quality metrics that will help the organization qualify as an accountable care organization.
Health care has undergone a transformation since the release of the Institute of Medicine's 2000 report
To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System.
The report highlighted medical errors as a contributing factor leading to poor patient outcomes. The Institute of Medicine challenged organizations to implement evidence-based performance improvement strategies in order to improve patient quality and safety. Multiple governmental and regulatory agencies, such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHRQ), vowed to strengthen and improve incentives for participation, safety, quality, and efficiency in accountable care organizations (ACOs).
Health information technology (HIT) performs an essential role in improving health outcomes of individuals, the community, and populations. Health organizations, consumer advocacy groups, and regulatory committees have made a commitment to explore current and future opportunities that HIT offers to continue momentum to meet the Institute of Medicine's goal of improving safety and quality.
Understanding HIT is important to improving individual, community, and population access to health care and health information. HIT enables quick and easy access to information for both patients and providers. Accessible information has been shown to improve the patient care experience and reduce redundancies, thereby reducing health care costs.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to make recommendations for expanding a hospital's HIT in ways that will help the hospital qualify as an ACO.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 2: Explain the relationship between care coordination and evidence-based data.
Recommend ways to expand an organization's HIT to include quality metrics.
Identify potential problems that can arise with data gathering systems and outputs.
Competency 3: Use health information technology to guide care coordination and organizational practice.
Describe the main focus of information gathering in health care and how it contributes to guiding the development of organizational practice.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Write clearly and concisely, using correct grammar and mechanics.
Support main points, claims, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.

Network and Workflow for a Ddata Analytics Company on Ssports.
A company’s network and workflow play a major roles in its performance and growth. Different companies consist of rely on different networks and workflows depending on the services/tasks they are providing and the number of workers and members of staff. A network tends to connect workers and members of staff at different levels of the company. This network tends to create a good and effective workflow within the company, hence a company network and workflow go hand in hand. When creating a network and a workflow of a company, the workers and members of staff working duration must be considered in order to achieve a company objective (Moretti, 2017).Also, the mode of employment which may be permanent or temporary/laying down of workers within a short period of time, to a large extent determines a company’s network and workflow. The change of an organizational requirement due to growth and expansion creates a need for a company to adapt a new network and workflow.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Comparative Criminology
One major impediment to Comparative Criminology is the fact
the United States is generally an “ethnocentric” culture.
Ethnocentrism is the tendency to strongly believe a group's
ethnic or cultural group is centrally important and all other
groups are measured in relation to that group. Ethnocentric
people critically judge other groups relative to his ethnic group,
culture and norms. This is especially true in relation to one’s
language, behavior, customs, and religion.
Ethnocentric cultures are often not open to considering or even
in some case tolerating, research or ideas that are different to
the accepted norm within that culture.

7. Europol became fully operational on 1 July 1999. It is the
integrated police intelligence gathering and
dissemination arm of the member nations of the European Union
(EU). Europol allocates its resources (approximately 130
Europol liaison officers (ELOs)) from its headquarters in The
Hague, Netherlands. As of 2007, Europol covers all 27 member
states of the European Union. In order to fight international
organized crime effectively, Europol cooperates with a number
of third countries and organizations Its mission is to improve
the effectiveness and cooperation of law enforcement agencies
within EU member states. The ultimate goal is preventing and
combating terrorism, drug trafficking, trafficking of radioactive
and nuclear substances, money laundering, trafficking in human
beings, and other serious forms of international organized
crime.https://www.europol.europa.eu/content/page/about-

The International Criminal Court (ICC) was created to deal with
crimes of
international concern (genocide, war crimes, crimes against
humanity).
It was “born” on 1 July 2002 and can only prosecute crimes
committed on or after that date. The Court's official seat is
in The Hague, Netherlands, but its proceedings may take place
anywhere.
As of September 2011, 116 nation states have ratified the
Statute of the Court. Another 35 nation states have ratification
pending and three nation states, Israel, Sudan and the United
8. States have "unsigned" the Statue, meaning they have declined
to acknowledge the court’s authority over them. None of the
United Nations member nations have ratified the Statute.

International Criminal Court (ICC)
Extradition occurs when one member state agrees to surrender a
subject under its jurisdiction to another jurisdiction for the
purpose of prosecuting that individual for a crime the requesting
member states alleges the subject committed against said
member state or within its jurisdiction.
The United Nations encourages and assists member states in
reaching extradition agreements between member states. This is
considered a very important tool in the fight against
transnational crime.
Many member states are not willing to extradite subjects wanted
in the United States, especially in cases involving the death
penalty as a possible punishment.
An Introduction to Criminal Law
Extradition
The correlation between transnational crime, terrorism and
corruption cannot be denied. The idea these issues can be dealt
with separately is simply not clear thinking.
“Societies” that embrace terrorism as an acceptable tactic give
little opportunity for legitimate social mobility and as a result,
are a deterrent to economic growth and investment within in
9. that society; both from within and from external sources.
Terrorist groups flourish in environments where occupants,
especially the youth who are often without legitimate
opportunity, have limited chance for advancement within that
society. Under these circumstances, terrorism often is seen as an
“opportunity”, through transnational crime, thus becoming an
economic alternative for members of that society.
An Introduction to Criminal Law
Terrorism and Multinational Crime
Though the world has tried, to date there is no single
universally accepted, definition of terrorism can be applicable
to all places and all circumstances. In 2002, the United Nations
General Assembly defined (NOT universally accepted) the
crime of terrorism as:
"1. Any person commits an offence within the meaning of this
Convention if that person, by any means, unlawfully and
intentionally, causes:(a) Death or serious bodily injury to any
person; or(b) Serious damage to public or private property,
including a place of public use, a State or government facility, a
public transportation system, an infrastructure facility or the
environment; or(c) Damage to property, places, facilities, or
systems referred to in paragraph 1 (b) of this article, resulting
or likely to result in major economic loss, when the purpose of
the conduct, by its nature or context, is to intimidate a
population, or to compel a Government or an international
organization to do or abstain from doing any act."

Terrorism- A Search For a Definition
10. U.S. Federal Code defines terrorism as:
“Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as
“the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or
property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian
population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political
or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85). ”

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) defines terrorism as:
“The calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful
violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate
governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are
generally political, religious, or ideological.”

United States Definitions
In general terms, the FBI defines terrorism as:
“a violent act, or act dangerous to human life, in violation of
the criminal laws of the United States or of any state to
intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or
any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social
objectives.”
The FBI goes on to break terrorism down into Domestic and
International definitions:
11. Domestic terrorism is defined as: “The unlawful use, or
threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual
based and operating entirely within the United States or Puerto
Rico without foreign direction committed against persons or
property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian
population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of political or
social objectives.” http://www.fbi.gov/stats-

include the anti-abortionist, animal rights and environmental
extremist groups.

The FBI defines International terrorism as:
“Violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a
violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any state,
or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the
12. jurisdiction of the United States or any state. These acts appear
to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population,
influence the policy of a government by intimidation or
coercion, or affect the conduct of a government by assassination
or kidnapping. International terrorist acts occur outside the
United States or transcend national boundaries in terms of the
means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear
intended to coerce or intimidate, or the locale in which their
perpetrators operate or seek asylum.”

encroachment on their homeland by foreigners (often considered
“Holy Lands”).

Examples of “International” Terrorists
Besides differences in definition of terrorism, there appears to
be some common characteristics to all terrorist activities.
According to criminologist Gwynn Nettler terrorism shares six
13. characteristics: No Rules-No moral limitations on the type or
degree of violence that terrorists can use.No Innocents-No
respecter of persons; from soldiers to children; all are
game.Economy-Kill one, frighten 10,000Publicity-Terrorists
seek publicity, and publicity encourages terrorism.Meaning-
Terrorist acts give meaning and significance to the lives of
terrorists.No Clarity-Beyond the immediate aim of destructive
acts, the long-term goals of terrorists are likely to be poorly
conceived or impossible to implement. Terrorism that succeeds
escalates. Schmalleger, Frank (2009). Criminology Today: An
Integrative Introduction (5th Edition). Columbus, OH: Prentice

An Introduction to Criminal Law
Characteristics of Terrorist
The misguided belief many people have that all terrorists are
uneducated, poor, cave-dwelling Neanderthals (in some cases
this is true) is simply not correct; many don’t fit that model.
Many have proven to be college-educated individuals who came
from professional two-parent middle-class families. Most of the
9/11 perpetrators were physically fit, intelligent, experienced,
educated individuals with the ability to verbally and clearly
articulate their vision and mission with a strong emotional
appeal.
That being said, it would be fair to say an equal number of
terrorist group joiners come from dysfunctional family
backgrounds who are particularly susceptible to the seductive
messages of charismatic leaders, who offer them their first
positively meaningful group experience.
Thomas Robbins (1988), Cults, Converts, and Charisma: The
Sociology of New Religious Movements (Newbury Park, CA:
Sage Publications
14. An Introduction to Criminal Law
Background of a Terrorist
Separatist. Separatist groups are those with the goal of
separation from existing entities through independence, political
autonomy, or religious freedom or domination.
Ethnocentric. Groups of this persuasion see race as the defining
characteristic of a society and therefore a basis of solidity.
Nationalistic. The extreme loyalty and devotion to a nation and
the national consciousness derived from placing one nation‘s
interests and cultural norms above those of other nation or
group. Members are often extremely paranoid.
Revolutionary. Dedicated to the overthrow of an established
order and replacing it with a new political or social structure.
Political. Political ideologies are concerned with the structure
and organization of the forms of government and communities.
An Introduction to Criminal Law
Terrorist Group Motivators
Religious. Obviously Islamic-extremists have been the most
active in recent times, all of the major world religions have
extremists that have taken up violence to further their perceived
religious goals. Religiously motivated terrorists see their
objectives as holy writ and therefore infallible and non-
negotiable
Social. Often particular social policies issues will be so
contentious they will incite extremist behavior. Frequently this
is referred to as "single issue" or "special interest" terrorism.
Environmental and anti-abortion groups are examples.
15. Domestic. These terrorists are "home-grown" and operate within
and against their home country. They are frequently tied to
extreme social or political factions within a particular society
and focus their efforts specifically on their nation's, real or
perceived socio-political issues.
An Introduction to Criminal Law
Terrorist Group Motivators
International or Transnational. Often describing the support and
operational reach of a group, these terms are often loosely
defined and can be applied to widely different
capabilities. International groups typically operate in multiple
countries, but retain a geographic focus for their activities.
Hezbollah for example, has cells worldwide and has conducted
operations in multiple countries, but is primarily concerned with
events in Lebanon and Israel.
Transnational groups operate internationally, but are not tied to
a particular country, or even region. Al Qaeda is transnational;
being made up of many nationalities, having been based out of
multiple countries simultaneously and conducting operations
throughout the world. Their objectives affect dozens of
countries with differing political systems, religions, ethnic
compositions, and national interests.
An Introduction to Criminal Law
Terrorist Group Motivators
Bombings
Bombings are the most common type of terrorist act. Typically,
improvised explosive devices are inexpensive and easy to make.
16. Modern devices are smaller and are harder to detect. They
contain very destructive capabilities; for example, on August 7,
1998, two American embassies in Africa were bombed. The
bombings claimed the lives of over 200 people, including 12
innocent American citizens, and injured over 5,000 civilians.
Terrorists can also use materials that are readily available to the
average consumer to construct a bomb.
An Introduction to Criminal Law
Terrorist Methodology
Kidnappings and Hostage-Takings
Terrorists use kidnapping and hostage-taking to establish a
bargaining position and to elicit publicity. Kidnapping is one of
the most difficult acts for a terrorist group to accomplish but, if
a kidnapping is successful, it can gain terrorists money, release
of jailed comrades and publicity for an extended period.
Hostage-taking involves the seizure of a facility or location and
the taking of hostages. Unlike a kidnapping, hostage-taking
provokes a confrontation with authorities. It forces authorities
to either make dramatic decisions or to comply with the
terrorist’s demands. It is overt and designed to attract and hold
media attention. The terrorists’ intended target is the audience
affected by the hostage’s confinement, not the hostage.
An Introduction to Criminal Law
Terrorist Methodology
Armed Attacks and Assassinations
Armed attacks include raids and ambushes. Assassinations are
17. the killing of a selected victim, usually by bombings or small
arms. Drive-by shootings is a common technique employed by
unsophisticated or loosely organized terrorist groups.
Historically, terrorists have assassinated specific individuals for
psychological effect.
Arsons and Firebombings
Arson and firebombings devices are cheap and easy to hide.
Attacks are easily conducted that may not be as well-organized,
equipped, or trained as a major terrorist organization. An arson
or firebombing often portrays an image the local government is
incapable of maintaining order.
An Introduction to Criminal Law
Terrorist Methodology
Hijackings and Skyjackings
Hijacking is the seizure by force of a surface vehicle, its
passengers/cargo. Skyjacking is the taking of an aircraft, which
creates a mobile, hostage barricade situation. It can give
terrorists hostages from several nations and draws heavy media
attention.
Cyberterrorism
A new form of terrorism allows terrorists to conduct their
operations with little or no risk to themselves. It also provides
terrorists an opportunity to disrupt or destroy networks and
computers. The result is interruption of key government or
business-related activities.

18. Terrorist Methodology
“We must take the battle to the enemy, disrupt his plans and
confront the worst threats before they emerge.

the path of action; and this nation will act.”

20. The USA PATRIOT Act was an emergency response to
the terrorist attacks on the United States of September 11th,
2001. It was immediately considered extremely controversial by
many in the U.S. as it dramatically reduced restrictions on law
enforcement’s ability to search all types of electronic records;
eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering; expanded
the U.S. government’s authority to regulate financial
transactions and broadened the discretion of immigration
authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of
terrorism-related acts.
The Act also expanded the definition of terrorism to include
domestic terrorism, thus enlarging the number of activities to
which the USA PATRIOT Act’s expanded powers can be
applied.

and can play a critical role in advancing effective democracy…”
“…Effective democracies honor and uphold basic human rights,
including freedom of religion, conscience, speech, assembly,

submitting to the will of the people. Effective democracies
exercise effective sovereignty and maintain order within their
own borders, address causes of conflict peacefully, protect

terrorism.
Whether radicalization happens in the U.S. homeland or abroad
is an important question, but for law enforcement agencies, the
academic debate translates into how to provide the most
effective community outreach in the effort to prevent terrorist
attacks.
Law enforcement agencies cannot afford to be passive

garage. After the bombing, he left the U.S. In 1994, Yousef
build another bomb in his apartment in the Philippines, placed it
on an airplane, killing one man when it exploded.When building
this bomb, his apartment caught fire and they fled.Police

On August 21, 1992, U.S. Marshals, conducted an undercover
surveillance on Randy Weaver’s home. When Weaver's dogs
started barking, they shot one of them.Weaver's 14-year-old son
saw the dog die and fired his gun towards the agents. He was
then shot and killed by a U.S. Marshal.The next day, Weaver
was shot by an FBI sniper. Moments later, the sniper shot and
killed Weaver’s wife as she stood in the doorway of their home
(unarmed). Eleven days after the shootout, Weaver
surrendered.In August 1995, the U.S. Government paid the
Weaver family 3.1 million dollars.Experts estimate this
incident, supported by the Waco, TX tragedy, was the catalyst
that started the popularity of the Militia movement in America.
